Yo quiero Taco Bell!!! We had some amazing ministry opportunities today at lunch... more to come.
Team time started the morning... the students were given the chance to learn about the Fruits of the Spirit, as well as, their spiritual gifts. In our discipleship groups, each student learned more about their gifted areas.... and were challenged to step it up and make it real. They had the chance to pray and make goals for themselves regarding their ministry.
Taco Bell was their answer to prayer. People streamed into the restaurant, and it was about a 3 to 1 ratio of us to them. Megan, Trevor, McKenna, and Daniel had an amazing experience!!! They talked to a man who had a whole array of beliefs. They challenged his faith and walked away broken for his lost heart! WOW! All our students talked to someone today and made steps to becoming more comfortable and natural at sharing their faith.
Please pray for Jimmy from Taco Bell, as he has clearly heard the gospel today.
We moved on to work projects this afternoon, and half the group got to go to a local mission and help prepare for their upcoming children's camp. We organized, painted, started crafts, etc. It was a blast to talk with not only the volunteers, but also the people who hung around there! Tomorrow we are going back there to do a block party so pray for those who already started relationships!
Tonight was a neat time with Maranatha's teens. We had a chance to share what ob is all about and do a few of our "ob" things for them... skits and pantomimes. Cari shared about ob's goals and challenged students to consider ob, Casey shared his testimony, and Megan shared about what God was currently teaching her.
Then the teens from Maranatha shared with us about their recent trip to Bolivia. God used them in some mighty ways and it was encouraging for us to hear! God is working all over this globe, and as a body in Christ, we all are having a part in that!
Pray for the block party.... pray for Jimmy... pray that our student's hearts are broken for God and the lost.
Thanks for how you support us!
